About Us

Welcome to the website of the Catholic Center at URI!

 

Our Mission is:

We are a Catholic community of believers open to the power of the Spirit who strive to live and share the Gospel of Jesus with the students, faculty, and staff of the University of Rhode Island. As we live out our baptism, we grow in love for Jesus Christ and his Church and discover in Him our dignity and worth, of what it means to be fully and abundantly human. This awareness calls and impels us to use our gifts and talents to bring the good news of God’s love, joy, justice, and peace to our campus community through worship, prayer, fellowship, faith formation, fun, and mission. Our hope is that by allowing Christ to live and love in us here at the University of Rhode Island, we will experience His risen life-giving presence in our fellowship and friendship, we will glorify Him in our worship, and we will serve Him in all our brothers and sisters, especially the poor and alienated.

 

Whether you are a practicing Catholic, or someone who has been away from the Church, or a searcher seeking the presence of God, we invite you to find a home at the Catholic Center.
